(1992 March 28)
How doth your pretty beard today
A-growing on your chin?
Is it the boast of Broadway
Or bothersome as sin?
When you are eating soup one day,
Is it awfully in the way?
Polly Kay (1904-1997) vividly and with humor describes her life in Richland Center, Wisconsin, in excerpts from letters to her son Skip written after 1949, including her 5 last years in an old folks' home.
